SIMONA® Fire Safe Products

Fire Safe Products for Semiconductor and Cleanroom application

The semiconductor and electronics industry demands sophisticated, controlled processing
environments to ensure a high level of quality in its valuable goods. Manufacturing areas and
cleanrooms are designed to be virtually free of contamination at every stage of production. After
all, the investments made are considerable: billion-dollar wafer fabrication plants, multi dollar
tooling and expensive work in process and finished goods. Fires and other upset conditions cost
time, resources and reputations.

SIMONA® Fire Safe Products - As the consensus is on the horizon, SIMONA AMERICA is
proud to offer specialized Products for critical applications within the semiconductor and
electronic industry.

Our materials have been tested for their compliance to these new standards, and for their
performance within the manufacturing environments in which they reside.

Specifications and StandardsRecently, fire protection methods, processing conditions and the materials used in the
tooling of plants have been scrutinized by organizations that include underwriters, public safety
overseers, technical councils and advisors as well as testing laboratories and trade associations.
The national Fire Protection Association Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and Semiconductor Equipment
and Materials International are among the influential groups addressing products performance
specifications and standards.

Reducing Risk and Loss Due to FireOne method to reduce risk and loss due to fire is to increase the flame retardancy of
materials used for fabrication tools found within cleanrooms and processing areas of fab plants.
The complexity of tooling design demands a variety of sheet options, suited to the application and
manufacturing conditions.
